USS Victoria?

Hey, this may be a blind shot in the dark, but do any of you have additional pics of my USS Victoria saved? (Seen below) I lost ALL of my models (50 meshes plus) and digital artwork that I've ever made and am trying to salvage what pics of my models I have left. Some of you might not even remember the ship, but I figured it's worth a try. The only shots I have left are the ones on my image host's site.

If I had seen that sweet piece of work when you posted it, I certainly would have saved some images.

You...gotta...back...up! Especially when you put the work in.

Have you tried any recovery apps? I never had any luck, but worth a try.
 
It looks like a combination of the Defiant and the Galactica. That's a good thing. Very nice! :) What is the size of the Victoria? Sorry you lost all your work, though. :( I don't know what to tell you there.
 
I've got two pics saved of what may be an earlier, much more angular version of this ship. Had you finished that version up there I probably would have saved some shots of that as well, but not at that stage as it is in your pic.
 
Yeah, I remember seeing the Victoria on JOAT. The one on there seems to be an earlier version, because the renderings don't look as well done as the example above.

It's a real damn shame that you lost all of your work, because a lot of modeling history has been lost along with it. I would have liked to see more of your work if the rest of it is as well done as the ship above.

I wish you good luck in salvaging and/or recovering what ever you can of your works.
 
^Thanks, Bell! I completely forgot about the first model.

I had all my files on my computer, which crashed (twice in one month) and on two jump drives....or so I thought. I guess when I reformatted my computer the first time I cut and pasted as opposed to copy and pasted. Also, the files weren't on the second jump drive. I got some software to get everything off a jump drive but haven't found any of my 3D files or my Inkscape files yet. :(

I guess if I can't recover them, a third Victoria model is in order. However, I've lost a lot of trek enthusiasm (onto other things) so the likelihood of that happening is pretty low.

EDIT: Also a little info about the ship, it was supposed to be the first Federation ship to circumnavigate the galaxy and was supposed to be a design halfway between the Defiant and the Relativity. It has two stacked transwarp nacelles on each side.

EDIT2: Also, I made it before the Venator came out in theaters. They copied me! :D

Since some of you said you've never seen it before, here's the remaining shots I have of it:

Indeed she is! :)

Vulcan, you should contact the folks over at the JoAT and submit these pictures to them to update their article on the Victory. That way, should any of us lose them again (God forbid!) we could just get them from there. ;)
